Surprise surprise - Stevie puts Liverpool top of his list! Seriously, have you ever been?? Most people's perception of a place that they think is shit is based on something they've heard. Liverpool has a stigma about it, very much like Newcastle which probably does it a terrible injustice. Now talk about Morecambe - there's a fucking hole! The place needs napalming tbh

Quality, though I preferred the "Red Square's dead square, we know that for a fact. There's no MacEwans Best Scotch in the Warsaw Pact" one. "Ge'doon, ge'doon. ge'doon!! I am doon!"

Can't believe that was 10 years ago! Waiting for JJ's wank-fest now you've posted that! Agree though, it was a fucking superb ad

Following on from me posting the new Merc ad in the F1 thread which is pretty good, what do you reckon is the best TV ad ever? You'd be hard pressed to beat THIS in my opinion. Post the links people...

I'm hoping they clash at the pissup this weekend and a "Nuh-uh!" "Yuh-uh!" "Nuh-uh!" bitchfight ensues. I was hoping both would play and be on opposite sides but it looks like the pair of tarts have bottled it. Question of numbers Alex. If there's, say, 12 people I'm not fussed. If we're short I'll give it a go. Thing is I'm playing a couple of days before and when you get to my age you need some recovery time! Oh aye, plus I'm really shit! Second worst out of my work. The real reason. Fish reckons he is too. I'm nowt spesh. It's just a laugh man. I'm not arsed about being shit, quite used to it in fact! Plus I'll be able to flatten Papa L or Isegrim! I'll probably pop up for a bit then. Well I think we've got 13 including 3 people who've never been to a piss-up plus manc-mag so I could easily see us struggling for numbers. If it's booked for an hour, subs might not be a bad idea either. Not playing football cos I'm fully booked for the day except for the meal and drinks with you lot. anyhoo, I'm afraid of mistaking you lot for profiteroles and slathering my way around the pitch with a spork in hand. Bollocks Does anyone smell bullshit?? Fish, we've had this date booked in for months man - if you're fully booked for the day, you've done so with the knowledge that it's in place of turning up for 5-a-side!

I'll probably pop up for a bit then. Going by the committed challenges they were putting in last year, I'd argue the opposite tbh........especially if Papa L brings his pit boots again!

Some bloke at uni used to bloat about the fact he did it, that's until he pulled some lass who made it very publically known that not only did the crotch of his jeans smell of shit, but he obviously hadn't wiped properly and greased the inside of them too! He never mentioned it again like... Fucking disgusting if you ask me - must chafe like hell too.

The highlight of the race coverage IMO..... *apologies to the non-F1 fans who won't get the joke or may not know who the other fella in the sauna is... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vmCTjcSm4Y

Perhaps they all need to take note of what you wore for the 5-a-side last year PapaL

It's never been away tttt - my kids watch it all the time on the satellite channels and the have a mix of the older ones and a whole load of new ones with a totally different theme tune.

Happy birthday mate

Today is actually the forum's 2nd birthday - happy birthday Toontastic!

Erm.... how?? 2J made a typo which invoked the word filter. Can hardly accuse anyone of any wrong-doing!

Good old Murray, a true legend. Hamilton has been granted provisional permission to race but faces a further medical in the morning. He'll do well to continue his run of podium finishes from tenth on the grid regardless. Very much so. Sounds daft but he'd have been better of starting one place lower, at least he'd be able to alter his fuel load to suit the change in circumstances. The top 10 of course have to start the race with the fuel loads that the started the final qualifying session with.

Done 2J - Learn to fucking type!! EDIT: it won't retrospectively change the post back to what you wanted it to be. The filter only applies at the point the post is submitted.

For those of you who can't stand 'The Cock' on ITV, there'll be a familiar voice commentating on Radio Five Live. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport...one/6908242.stm Think I might turn the volume down on the TV and turn the radio on!

Nice to see you've assumed the required attitude for your newly acquired position

Is it the general concensus that I'm to blame for pud and toplass fucking off? As explained to pud my comment was a joke and unrelated to anything that's unbeknown to me has gone on in the past. And I'm in the dark completly as to why toplass has fucked off. I'm guessing it was possibly something said on the forum between them and then quickly deleted. Am I right in thinking they used to be Would explain a lot. I don't think we should be concentrating on the whys and wherefores - they've both decided to take some time out which they're totally entitled to do.

Surely alias accounts can be traced with a simple IP check? Of sorts yeah - depends on the ISP though and if they use a DHCP range.

I know and I have thought about that - it's a balance between getting new members on board and preventing some of the other stuff going on that we're aware of.

Not at the moment but once the tidy up following the upgrade is completed, it will be. Geniune email addresses for registration may be required and non-logged-on browsing may well become a thing of the past.

Don't think the fact that I very, very nearly told my work to shove my job up their arse yesterday helped my mood at all. Its more than what's just gone on in this thread, I don't have the time for a lot of input on here at the moment.

I guess HTL will be along to post shortly too.

And you wonder why nobody bothers with this forum any more. And your point is??? That you seem happy to close threads for certain individuals (your mates) but are happy to let them run for others, it's easy to put the problem down to not getting enough new posters in yet one look at how clicky this forum is is enough to put anyone off. The football section on this forum is now probably the worst of any Newcastle forum I've come across, full of "inside" jibes rather than anyone talking about football except for retards like T-Keith and 2bias who know fuck all anyway, this place was one of the best forums on the net a few years ago yet it's gone down hill rapidly, apart from Scottish Mag, Gol and Jimbo all of the decent posters post on Newcastle-Online anyway, Dan used to be a decent bloke who's turned into a right miserable bastard and tbh Craig you're not that far behind. If that's the case, why do you stick around on here?? As I've said elsewhere, I've closed threads that at the time I've seen them, I felt were not in the best interests of the forum - it's got fuck all to do with who I am and am not mates with. Yesterday I deleted posts from Gol and today I had a go at Pud for sending the PMs that he did - is that favouritism towards the other admins?? Maybe I am not the happy-go-lucky person I once used to be but there are good reasons, outlined elsewhere on the board, for that. I'm going through a living nightmare at the moment but I still try to make this place work hence why I've intervened when I have. The reasons I probably haven't closed threads you think I should have is because I am doing my job - you know, the one I am actually paid to do and I'm not scrutinising every post. Fact of the matter is I am probably going to take some time out from this place and have already told the other admins that. I have shit going on in other places in my life and this place was my escape. However after the last couple of days, I'm coming to the conclusion that I don't need any more stress.

And you wonder why nobody bothers with this forum any more. And your point is???
